World Stroke Organisation (WSO)

2017 World Stroke Campaign Theme is "PREVENTION"

LIFE AFTER STROKE CENTRES

We operate the first Life After Stroke Centres in Nigeria helping stroke survivors, carers and families to cope with the stroke recovery journey. We provide an enabling and safe place for: sharing experiences, socialising, re-learning life skills, and providing support to regain functional ability after a stroke

STROKE REHABILITATION
AND ONGOING SUPPORT

We will work with you in your home, or, at our Life After Stroke centre and help you to regain confidence, function and independence. We will assess and support you to set achievable goals for your rehabilitation. If in hospital, we will provide support for safe hospital discharge.

CARING FOR CARERS

Our carers support group and ‘Time Out’ respite give carers time to discuss their own issues, and take time out from their caring roles. We support carers and families enabling them to cope with ‘life after a stroke’ by answering their questions, providing advice and information about strokes.

OUR SERVICES

ANNUAL POWER TO STOP STROKES CAMPAIGN

We host annual stroke campaigns in partnership with the Ministry of Health each year to raise public awareness of the need for stroke prevention and quality stroke care. This includes the Stroke Assembly conference, and, Walk and Run Against Strokes across various States in celebration of the World Stroke Day.

STROKE AMBASSADORS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

We support and develop recovered stroke survivors as Volunteer Stroke Ambassadors. This way they become active citizens who are able to return to work or become self employed.
